Gildairia

Chapter 1
One day King Dan and Queen Elizabeth found that their babies, Prince Ryan and Princess Juliet, had magical powers. Unfortunately, however, the evil goblins wanted to obtain their powers for their own evil deeds. So the King and Queen stole away one day from the Kingdom of Chestnut to the Land of Gildairia where they could protect their own from harm. To reach the safety of Gildairia they had to cross the treacherous forest of Lishakill.
As they traveled through the forest of Lishakill, they were mesmerized by the beauty of the trees and the golden shimmer of the leaves which reminded them of golden mountains of Gildairia. Ryan and Juliet were secreted in slings for their travel across the unfriendly territory. The King and the Queen kept a keen eye out for the goblin sentries they knew must be near. As they rounded the bend (its always the bend!!), a goblin came out of its hiding hole to glare at the passerbys. To the goblin’s excitement, he saw the seemingly defenseless family. He stepped out into the path to confront the weary travelers.
“Avast ye!” said the goblin, “Move not, for I can have a hundred goblins breathing down your neck ere I count to three!”
The King and Queen were taken aback and were paralyzed by their fear. Juliet, however, undeterred by the monstrosity blocking their path took a single, solitary slurp from her binky and the goblin was sent soaring into the air only to get caught in a thistle bush on his descent back down. Hearing the raucous, a hundred more goblins poured from the hiding hole ready for battle.
End of Chapter 1
Chapter 2
The King and Queen stood staring a hundred goblins in the eye, not knowing how they would escape. Ryan let out a soft, sad cry and at that moment, a flock of birds, a pride of lions, a herd of deer, and a family of grizzlies emerged from the forest. The flock the birds swooped down and carried away half the goblin horde. The pride of lions and the grizzlies ate their fair share. And the deer, well, they cuted the rest to death.
Now that the goblin army had been destroyed, the path to Gildairia lay open. They trekked on and as they crested the largest hill, the golden spires of Gildairia glistened in the autumn sun and they knew they were safe.
End of Chapter 2
Chapter 3
They lived happily ever after. The End. (Ryan is crying.)
